This was a very good. Someone gave it a so so review, but let me tell you it's a great way to cut the cost of expensive (and more flavorful) rice. I used Jasmine rice and cheapo wheat spaghetti, made as directed and it was great!

This was a good side dish! Next time I think I will add more garlic.

Very easy to do. I used capelli di angelo. I used low-sodium chicken stock. No parsley. Thanks Lori Mama. Made for Holiday tag.

Made recipe as written, I used a somewhat smaller onion though. I thought for a side dish that this possibly could serve more than written as they were generous portions. Thanks for the delightful dish. Made for Holiday tag.

Made for Holiday Tag. I liked this simple versatile dish.I like Rice-a-roni but prefer this as I can monitor the salt and preservative content myself.
